<p>Just wondering. Or highly-selective schools like Chicago, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Georgetown etc</p>
<p>A kid at my school a couple of years ago got into Stanford after being suspended twice.</p>
<p>I know a kid at Penn who was cited for drug possession…</p>
<p>Two kids at my high school was expelled for hacking into the computer system and changing their grades and stealing tests from teachers with the intent to sell them. Their parents were VERY influential with the PTA and they were both reinstated into my school.(One played football I think)
One wrote his essay about it and now goes to Stanford.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info :)</p>
<p>I know a girl who got accepted to Columbia, after getting suspended for having sex in school…twice!</p>
<p>Extremely smart girl, just can’t keep her panties on.</p>
<p>BTW, how can colleges find out whether or not you got suspended throughout your 4 years in high school, before the college decides whether you are accepted or rejected?</p>
<p>I would think they get that information later.</p>
<p>Haha, that’s funny…Actually, there was a girl at my school a few yrs ago (beyond smart), and got into Columbia even though she got caught having a bottle of rum in her dorm. And another guy got into Rice after getting suspended from smoking pot…</p>
<p>But the thing is, were the disciplinary actions on their permanent HS records?? :S</p>
<p>Remember Blair Hornstine? She got expelled from Harvard after things she did in high school (like plagiarizing) came to light.</p>
<p>I believe permanent records are sent from your HS to your new college after you get accepted and after you decide to attend there.</p>
<p>Some colleges ask on their applications whether or not you have get suspended before. I guess if you write that you have never been suspended on the app, and then later they see a pink slip in your permanent record, you’re screwed.</p>
<p>If you have been suspended before, I would advise that you say you were, if asked. If you’re not asked, don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>The Common Application added these questions in 2007, which means that in the past, it may have been possible for schools not to include disciplinary info on the GC’s report of the student’s app. Consequently, previously, colleges may have accepted some students because the colleges didn’t know about the students’ disciplinary problems. Now, the GC is required to include such info.</p>
<p>"1. “Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at an educational institution you have attended from the 9th grade forward (or the international equivalent), whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in your probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from the institution?”</p>
<ol>
<li>“Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor, felony, or other crime?”</li>
</ol>
<p>If the student has any doubts about how to respond to question #1, he or she needs to know that the guidance / college counselor when completing the Secondary School Report (SSR) is asked to respond to similar questions. "</p>
<p>^ Actually, they dont need to be stated on mid years or full years. Guidance and college counselors have an implied contract. If a suspension or any legal action is taken on a student, the counselor MUST report it to the colleges that student applied to as soon as possible. Then the student must send the colleges a statement regarding the incident. Even the highly selective colleges will let this go if the case is very minor, but big cases like hacking grades are open to revocation of the application</p>
<p>What if you slashed somebodys tires and was suspended for 3 days? Would that stop you from getting into a school like Chapel Hill? BTW I have a 4.0 and an IB student</p>
<p>^
…the hell is wrong with you?</p>
<p>Just because the answer to your question is Yes doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Don’t even count on it.</p>

<p>so i got suspended for cheating on a facebook group. i was stupid enough to let the other guy make me admin. we were both suspended for 2 days.</p>
<p>i’m looking at northwestern, uchicago, ucla, berkeley, boston college, nyu stern</p>
<p>Student at my child’s HS was arrested on campus with “dealer” amounts of pot & narcotic with intent to sell… Was suspended from HS 2 months ago, but is somehow attending Stanford in the fall. Money talks??? Good lawyers???</p>
<p>One of my best friends was suspended in 9th grade for drinking on campus, still got in to brown and uchicago.</p>
<p>i know this isn’t a disciplinary record, but would a no pass on a creditless class that doesnt count for GPA weigh as heavily as a disciplinary record?</p>
<p>Kid got into Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, with integrity violation freshman year among other things</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That surprises me. Integrity violations are different because they call your whole academic record into question. Few believe getting caught cheating is an isolated incident. </p>
<p>Risky behavior (drinking, drugs, sex), isn’t viewed quite so harshly, though possession with intent probably is. KeeterMom, isn’t the jury still out on whether he goes to Stanford (pun intended).</p>
